Is rape really about power, not sex?

“Rape is about power/control, not sex” is an oft-repeated maxim. Is it actually true, though?

If it were, wouldn’t there be more male/male rape because men often seek dominance over other men? And as women gain more power in society, will there be more rapes perpetrated by women?

I’m not sure this statement that seems to be repeated as if it an established fact really is such.
